Sun Life Assurance Co. of Canada v. R., 97 DTC 422, [1997] 3 C.T.C. 2593 (TCC) -- summary under A

By services, 21 July, 2016

Bowman TCJ. followed his earlier decision in Cadillac Fairview in finding that density rights purchased by the taxpayer from a nearby church were an addition to the cost of land rather than building notwithstanding accounting evidence that such expenditures should have been added to the cost of the building and notwithstanding that, unlike the other case, a building actually was constructed, stating (at p. 428):

Density rights...exist independently of their exercise and independently of any present or future building.
